The Imperial Cult preaches that Mankind is the pinnacle
of creation, that it is his manifest destiny to cleanse the
stars of the stain of all other forms of intelligent life and
to claim what is rightfully his.
Man’s form is cast after that of the Emperor, who is the perfect
human being and the supreme life form.
This doctrine is not the product of petty intolerance;
it is a matter of racial survival, for almost every intelligent life
form that Humanity has encountered in the limitless void has
proven hostile, pernicious, duplicitous or simply so evil that it
cannot be allowed to continue existing.
